Today, I decided to fix the rattle that's been plaguing the rear shelf. I must have stuffed enough foam tape, weather strip and duct tape to completely nullify the stage 1 gains almost makes me wish I went with a hatch.

lol you really think he got 40mpg for longer than just rolling down a hill?

No way dude! You always get 40.2 MPG with a stage .75 tune! Check it out:

But really, I got that when cruising thru Rehoboth (no lights/signs on the roads in the woods) for like 10 miles. 5th gear at 40 all day! :Then I came to a stop sign, and it dropped down to like 30 and continued plummeting

Yep! It's easy. Get a new turbo and the 1,000cc injectors as the supporting mods require. Then...when the computer starts reading injector duty cycle to calculate your mpg...it will be way off!

I saw the one about track day and brakes...asking me if I got the previous one...but - like an idiot - I accidentally deleted your first one when I was cleaning out my inbox. Resend it over and I'll answer it right away.

honestly though it would be pretty rough to get the boost gauge to read exactly zero..

On our WRX's, there is a small vacuum line under the intake manifold that does not have a clamp on it from the factory. Normally, it wouldn't be an issue but with increased boost...it sometimes comes off. When it does, boost gauges won't go into the negative and reads zero. It happened to mine once at stage two. I am pretty sure xluben ran into the same thing.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why Subaru didn't clamp that hose. But...all of their clamps are crap anyways...so I just started replacing them all.
